Safety notice: Supair Evo Lite

January 14, 2021

Several weeks after reports of structural damage to the back support straps of the Evo Lite harness, Supair reacted and issued an official safety notice. The straps of the lower back support of the Evo Lite may only be tightened enough that the central shoulder strap (gray) remains under tension. This note also applies to the Evo XC 3. // Source: Supair Lu-Glidz had already reported structural defects in the Evo Lite harness from Supair in mid-December. It was about damage that can occur to the belt guide of the back support of the harness if the belts are tightened too much and then absorb loads for which the construction is not designed. (More background on this in the linked Lu-Glidz-Post). Late, but now, Supair has officially responded and published a corresponding safety notice (pdf) on its website. It describes what you have to pay attention to when adjusting the harness in order to rule out possible incorrect loading. In addition, a solution will be shown how the back belt guide can be subsequently strengthened in harnesses where the corresponding damage is already visible. The necessary reinforcement kits can be requested from Supair. Attention! An important note is hidden in the safety notice. Harnesses of the type Supair Evo XC 3 have the same design of the back support. So owners of these harnesses should follow the same instructions.
